Prior to life with a newborn I thought the weeks alway flew by. Today with a baby, you blink your eyes and it’s almost Friday lol. Since delivering our son just two weeks ago, I’ve been easing my way back into work. I love cooking, all things nutrition, so I tend to get antsy if I’m away for too long.

However, it has been easier to take a step back during pregnancy and now as a mother, to soak up these irreplaceable moments. I hope that if you’re navigating life with a newborn, struggling to balance it all, you’re able to do the same. At the end of the day, we can’t get this time back.

While our babe was sleeping I was able to whip up this new cookie skillet, because it’s just that easy!! Lately I’ve been all about the oats as they pack protein, fiber, make recipes more filling, you can get them gf, and they can easily cancel out traditional white flour in recipes. It’s an all around win win!!

This recipe is fab for countless reasons! It’s quick, easy, affordable, has minimal ingredients, contains no white flour or sugar, no vegan eggs, is packed with oats, fiber, protein, flavor, chocolate, can easily be made in bulk, and is perfect for entertaining!
